A 61-year-old woman with a medical history of ulcerative colitis (UC) developed an erythematous, mildly pruritic, maculopapular rash that was histologically consistent with reactive granulomatous dermatitis (RGD) with interstitial granulomatous dermatitis (IGD)-type features 1 week after vedolizumab infusion. Awareness of this complication is key to enhanced recognition and appropriate management as use of this medication becomes more prevalent.
